Myosotis suaveolens

Myosotis suaveolens.

Myosotis suaveolens, also known as M. armata or M. sylvatica ssp. suaveolens, is a fairly small "forget-me-not" species, native to Greece, Albania, Bulgaria and Croatia, that occurs in snow-bed meadows at high altitudes. The flowers are typical of this genus, with variations of blue, pink and white colors.
Of the approximately 50 species of the genus Myosotis (a Greek compound word meaning "mouse's ear" after the leaf shape), one can find at least 16 species in Greece.
